Gligar (Japanese: グライガー Gliger) is a dual-type Ground/Flying Pokémon.
It evolves into Gliscor when leveled up, at night, holding a Razor Fang.
Biology
Physiology
Gligar is a small, purple, bat-like Pokémon. It has blue wings, which are similar in function to a flying squirrel's, and have pointed purple tips at the edges of the membranes. Gligar has pincers on its forelegs, and a segmented, insectoid tail with a stinger on the end. Gligar has short hind legs, and feet that appear segmented with a large, single claw each. Additionally, Gligar has long, pointed ears and triangle-shaped eyes, fangs and a large tongue which is often seen out of its mouth. Gligar could be considered a cousin of Skorupi due to its scorpion-like traits; however, it shares some bat-like traits as well, making it similar to Zubat.
Gender differences
A female Gligar has a smaller stinger.
Special abilities
Gligar knows a small handful of poisonous attacks, such as Poison Sting and the rarely known Cross Poison. Gligar can also use a few Template:Type2 moves, like Fury Cutter and U-turn. While Gligar can learn Ground and Template:Type2 moves typical to a Template:Type2 Pokémon, its abilities as a Template:Type2 are limited. Most notable is the fact that Gligar cannot learn Fly.
Also, Gligar and its evolved form Gliscor are the only two Pokémon that are both Flying and Ground, which gives them a unique immunity to both Template:Type2 and Ground moves. This trait is shared only with Vibrava, Flygon, Baltoy, and Claydol due to the Levitate ability.
As shown in Riding the Winds of Change!, Gligar, along with its evolved form Gliscor, can emit sound waves to detect obstacles and fly around them.
Behavior
Flying straight at the foe’s face, it startles them by clamping on with its clawed hind legs and the pincers on its forelegs, before jabbing with its poison stinger. Gligar also tend to ambush prey as it passes by below. When it is done gliding, it hops along the ground back to its nest.
Habitat
Gligar live in mountainous regions, making their nests along cliff sides. It also prefers hot arid environments, but doesn't mind forests either.
